LAS VEGAS  Warriors second-year forward Jordan Bell will out against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday because of a sore left shoulder.

Bell told Bay Area News Group that he does not consider the injury serious, which happened when he absorbed contact during Sundays loss to the Houston Rockets. Bell said he expects to be available to play in the Summer League playoffs, which could begin as early as Wednesday. It is not clear to what extent the Warriors will use Bell for the duration of summer league, which ends with a championship game on July 17.

Bell averaged only 4.0 points on 31 percent shooting, but he has also posted 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 rebounds through those two games. At the inaugural California Classic in Sacramento, Bell also averaged six points on 46 percent shooting, six rebounds and five assists in two games before sitting out the third for rest purposes.
